Claims.

This invention relates to packaging and has special reference to a method and means for packing bundles of textile materials such as bundles of rayon or similar fibrous material.

More particularly the invention relates to a Wrapping strip for such bundles and the means for forming and applying the strip.

@ne object of the invention is to provide an improved means for this purpose and a method of applying such means vwhereby the bundle or package may be opened with great ease.

A. second object ci the invention is to provide a novel manner o applying a wrapping strip of paper or the like to a bundle in such manner thatV it may be readily torn apart for opening.-

' A third important object of the invention is to provide a novel means for securing wrapping material around a package by one or more paper strips of uniform width throughout, wherein such 2G- paper strip is arranged in a novel manner to provide a tearing tab by means of which the strip may be torn to free the urapper.

With the above and other objects in View, as will be presently apparent, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction, combinations of parte and methodsof application hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, like characters Aof reference indicate like parts in the several views, and:-

Figure l is a View showing several of the securing strips as applied to a package in various stages of their application.

Figure 2 is a detail prospective view showing the strip in one stage of its application to the package.

Figure 3 is a detail section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1. 4.0v In the embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying drawing the bundle of material to be Wrapped is indicated at 10. Around this bundle is rolled or otherwise placed a Wrapping sheet 11 of ordinary Wrapping material such as paper or the like.

i This invention relates particularly to the means of securing this wrapper 11 in place and consists of strips of paper like material 12 capable of being readily torn. Several of these strips are `commonly wrapped around the bundle as shown in Figure 1, wherein four of such strips in different stages of application are disclosed. Each consists of a strip of paper or other readily tearable material of uniform Width and suflicient length to extend around the bundle and have its Serial No. 660,302

ends overlap, one end being under the other. The underlying end 13 is folded at le on an angle of about 45 to project out and form a tearing tab 15. The remaining end 16 is overlapped on the iirst end. rihe other end 16 is overlaid on the end 13 in such manner as to aline therewith and permit the tab 15 to project laterally from the lapping ends. Then a short strip 17 having its under side adhesively coated is applied over the joint between these two ends, said strip being substantially alined with said ends so that the tab 15 projects laterally from the binding strip and the adhesively coated strip.

When the package is thus bound by the strips 12 it may be readily opened by grasping the tab l5 and tearing across the adhesively coated strip 17 and the overlapping ends 13 and 16 to sever the respective strips 12.

It is to be noted that this package securing means involves only the use of paper strips 0i uniform width throughout so that no wastage of material occurs from the use of this means anclmethod. Y

There has thus been provided a simple and emcient device for and method of securing the wrapping of packages of material.

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form and construction of the means used and the application thereof from those shown and described. It is not, therefore, wished to confine the invention to the exact means and method herein set forth, but it is wished to include all such as come within the scope claimed.

What is claimed, is:-

l. A package securing device consisting of a strip of tearable material having one end folded to extend laterally from the body of the strip and the other end overlapping the rst end and secured thereto.

2. A package securing device consisting of a strip of tearable material of a length suiiicientV to surround the package with its ends overlapping, one end of said strip being folded to provide a laterally extending tearing tab and the other end of the strip being arranged to overlap and llO of tearable binding material of uniform width throughout and of a length sufficient to surround the material with the ends of the strip overlapping, folding one end of the strip to project laterally of the remainder of said strip, causing the remaining end of the strip to overlap the end carrying the lateral projection in alinement with the body of the strip, and applying an adhesively coated strip adhesively across the junction between said ends.
